Cathay Cargo Terminal has become the first ground handling organization in Asia to successfully achieve the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Security Management System (SeMS) certification, earning Operating Status, the highest possible tier for a first-time SeMS certification.
IATA SeMS offers a structured framework for proactively managing security risks, threats, and vulnerabilities. Organizations utilizing SeMS strive for continuous improvement in security measures, employing risk-based and data-driven strategies to address evolving security challenges.
“Security is foundational for any airport cargo terminal, and we are proud to be recognized by IATA for our strong commitment to all areas of security,” said Mark Watts, Cathay Cargo Terminal’s Chief Operating Officer. “Our recent use of AI to augment intruder detection and unattended cargo detection, as well as our significant investments in cybersecurity, underscore our proactive approach to keeping our customers’ equipment, cargo, and data safe.”
IATA Senior Vice President, Operations, Safety and Security Nick Careen commended Cathay Cargo Terminal’s dedication to proactive and risk-based security management, stating, “Achieving IATA’s Security Management System (SeMS) Certification (Operating Status) is a testament to Cathay Cargo Terminal’s dedication to proactive and risk-based security management. By embedding SeMS principles into its operations, Cathay Cargo Terminal reinforces and strengthens its overall security framework and also contributes to the broader goal of modernising aviation security through proactive continuous improvement and industry-wide collaboration.”
Cathay Cargo Terminal will receive the formal SeMS certificate at a special ceremony during the IATA World Cargo Symposium in Dubai on April 15th. The organization has also been recognized for its commitment to quality and safety, holding IATA’s IEnvA certification and recently renewing its IATA CBTA certification for Dangerous Goods. In addition, Cathay Cargo Terminal holds all four IATA Centre of Excellence for Independent Validators (CEIV) certifications.
